The right footpeg and brake lever has to be modified to use this pipe, and the frame needs to be raked so the header doesn't hit the front fender.

with a Vance and Hines Sidewinder on my J bike,no mods to the bike except raise the front footpeg a tad (Im using all metal dirt bike pegs), and straighten the rear brake pedal so it runs on top of the peg.Pipe runs even with the bottom frame rail.bj
